Hyperconverged Infrastructure Won the Battle — Then Created the Next Problem
Hyperconverged infrastructure won the architecture argument it set out to win, and the way it won is exactly why the next problem is harder than the last one. The companion piece on Kubernetes and virtual machines argued that the enterprise stack is a set of layers stacked on top of each other, not layers replacing…

The Nutanix vs VMware post-Broadcom decision isn’t a hypervisor evaluation anymore — it’s a vendor-exposure decision with multi-year budget consequences. Pre-Broadcom, the VMware vs. Nutanix conversation was an architecture conversation. You weighed feature sets, performance characteristics, ecosystem depth, and operational fit.

Nutanix AHV Day-2 Operations: The Architectural Reality
Nutanix AHV Day-2 operations expose the complexity gap that basic deployment guides never cover. In the current landscape of enterprise Broadcom exits, Nutanix AHV has transitioned from a niche alternative to the primary destination for enterprise post-Broadcom migration decisions. But bridging that complexity gap requires moving beyond initial configuration — an architect must master the…
